[GNC] Cannot write to file

[Mahon Finbar]

Since you asked "exactly" I'll try my best.

I was entering  data to a bank account and then I got the strange message.

I had already entered several items to the a/c when the message appeared.

I suspect I had pressed a wrong key, causing the message I mentioned to 
appear. When I clicked ok I got a screen with  a list of files.

There is no title on the file, just 'save' and it is in 'users/barry 
mahon/documents/tax accounts and returns

That looks like an account which contains an annual P&L, but now has a 
list of files such as -

C:\Users\Barry Mahon\Documents\Tax accounts and returns\P&L 
2022.gnucash.20230726121238.gnucash.20230728171739.gnucash

Dated yesterday. It looks like I am trying to save my bank a/c to this 
file.

My question is should I delete these files back to the original P&L 
files? and then try to reset everything? but how??

In fact I have just updated the OS, and restarted Gnu, but this same 
'save' file appears when I try to save the original banks a/c entries.

There are no other files open but the bank a/c file/

That is the best explanation I can make of what has happened. Grateful 
for any advice.

Thanks, Barry
